This turned out to be a good indicator of who last year's winner would be with Azerbaijan coming out on top easily ahead of France, Hungary and Estonia. Will it be the same this year?

God knows why Sweden are down there, but Russia not surprisingly with a MASSIVE lead! UK and Cyprus have very healthy totals too!

 

What do you think? Also here's last years views for comparison's sake: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=127070

Edited April 8, 201213 yr by Ryan741

A couple of MF live videos gained more than a million views each (one of them - more than 2 million!), and the studio version of the song - 400k.

 

So hardly an accurate representation. Plus the audio of the eurovision.tv version is REALLY awful. Feels like someone is banging on your eardrums the whole time. :/

 

Looking back at last year's, Azerbaijan aside everything was WAY out. 2-5 this time last year all flopped in the contest.

 

This admittedly doesn't look good for Euphoria but people are watching the other videos as Pavel says. GREAT for Engelbert though, and a lot of his core fanbase probably don't use Youtube :o

Yeah, I know there are other videos with lots more views, but I guess I would still expect the eurovision.tv to still have more views despite the poorer quality :)

Pavel makes a good point (it's a rare thing I know :D ). eurovision.tv really need to upload a better clip of 'Euphoria' as no doubt people have probably gone to listen only to stop the clip when the chorus kicks in. Sounds like somebody has tampered with the equalizer. :(

The video for Sweden has been deleted and re-uploaded a few times on the Eurovision channel in the last few weeks, so I wouldn't worry about the low number of views. :heehee:

You've got the Polish flag for San Marino :P

You've got the Polish flag for San Marino :P

 

So I have!! :lol:
